The dark looking gentlemen in a black cotton tunic and charcoal denim trousers sat still as a veritable statue and looked down at the little bundle all wrapped in black swaddling clothes. His normally emotionless face was enlightened by a soft smile as he wiggled a finger that as entrapped by a tiny, pale little hand. The gentle giant took a quick look around to see if anyone was looking before making a goofy face at the tiny creature. An ecstatic squeal came from the thoroughly entertained little human. A toothy smile engulfed the ancient vampire's face.
"Who is his mother?" an elderly old gran's voice called over the noise of the restaurant. Laik glanced up at her and shook his head. "He doesn't have one. Just a father and me." he answered politely. A wrinkled and sun spotted hand reached out to gently push the silky soft blanket from the baby's face. "Oh my, he is going to be a lady killer. Look at those eye lashes." she cooed at the squirming bundle. "What is his name?"
Laik turned his body just so to move the baby out of her reach.
"Benjamin is his name. He is recovering from an illness, please don't touch." Laik didn't like people to touch Benjamin. He came from a time when one did not touch a baby if you were not its parent, especially one so young. He looked to scan the room for the one he was waiting for and smiled when his eyes fell on the object of his desire. "Excuse me." he said softly and walked away from the woman.
There, across the room, a slightly scruffy man had entered the restaurant, his blue eyes searching for something. He was dressed in an off-white jumper and blue jeans, but wearing no shoes. Laik took long steps toward him with a grace only a vampire could accomplish. "Dominic." he called softly and was met with an infectious smile. This human had brought something into Laik's life that he never thought was possible. It was a love so pure, so endearing, not only for Dominic but for the child whom he would love like his own son for eternity.
"Hey." he cooed softly at his lover and leaned down to kiss him chastely then lingering for a moment to inhale his intoxicating scent. "Mmm, I missed you. Do you feel better after your shower?" he asked, noting his lovers hair was still slightly damp. He knew Dominic would be reaching for the child so he delicately passed the happy infant to his father and grinned at the man's eyes lit up as he gazed into the cherubic face of his child.
